I relate. apparently there's a link between sweeteners and headaches, although after sprite zero or fanta zero I do not feel as bad as after having coke zero

 

Then maybe it could be related to the caffeine. Afaik sprite and fanta do not contain any caffeine, as opposed to coke zero

 

Idk, but if it makes you sick dont drink it
You could be allergic to something in it

 

it's just odd that it suddenly happens out of nowhere, but guess I'll have to say goodbye to it. I always feel so much fresher, healthier, and just better overall when ditching it, but then the b/p urges kill me. I think I may try sparkling/flavoured water as a substitute.

 

Odd suggestion but try upping your salt. I often end up with salt issues from the GI problems of too much artificial sweetener and (despite no actual diarrhea) the combination of more artificial sweetener + more insufficiently salted liquid in pop = death blow to my hyponatremia symptoms. Carry around a bag of pink salt for that reason. Similarly your tolerance to artificial sweeteners can wax and wane depending on how frequently you ingest them, e.g. a regular 3 cokes a day might be fine when your system’s adjusted to it, but take a break for a while and one might be too much

Your electrolytes could already be in a precarious position with any level of b/p, even if you don’t usually consume a lot of artificial sweeteners/normally have a high tolerance, so pinch of salt at first and seeing if it makes any difference might be worth a shot

 

I don't drink it as often as I used to but last time I bought a can (brand coca cola zero, in France) I saw that there was Stevia in the ingredients. It usually had just aspartame and acesulfame before if I remember correctly.
Maybe check if the ingredients have changed ?

 

same re caffeinated soda . taurine is fine .

tried this yesterday, but still felt mostly really sick. I'm going without coke zero today and I already feel SO MUCH better and healthier, it's actually feeling like a blessing right now to not sit here with an headache and nausea. I feel like coke zero is a harsh chemical mixture after all, and my body is giving me very clear signs that it's fed up with it. It's sad, but sparkling water seems to have a similar effect to surfing b/p urges! still thank you so much for your suggestion and I'm so glad you have found something that worked for you there.
Also I never really went off it - I drank 2-3 bottles daily for pretty much over a month now, it seems like the intolerance developed from never having a break off of it. I also don't think it's my electrolytes since I haven't b/p in like 32 days, and my water is rich of minerals. I think the aspartame is just too much for some reason, or maybe it's the caffeine

I don't drink it as often as I used to but last time I bought a can (brand coca cola zero, in France) I saw that there was Stevia in the ingredients. It usually had just aspartame and acesulfame before if I remember correctly.

checked yesterday but still aspartame, I feel like with stevia it would work even better for me because I eat strawberries with stevia a lot and it never gets me these symptoms 😭 wish we had that here

Or if it's still just aspertame, I believe there's such a thing as aspertame poisoning which is dose-related, so it may have added up over time.

that's honestly my theory too, and I feel like the lower weight you become the harsher the effects may be (as it is with medication - less weight requires less dose). I've quit cold turkey now and feel much better

 

Genuine question habe you ever had a caffine od? I accidentally did, and one of the biggest reasons is because I took about 10 250 MG caffine pills and chased it down with diet cherry soda, now I can't drink diet cherry soda because every time I taste it I just taste those awful energy tablets, and whenever I do try to drink it I get very shakey, can't walk, stomache aches and extreame Nausea

 

I find that any time I'm dehydrated coke zero does that to me. get your electrolytes checked and try to get properly hydrated, it might get better

 

Aspartame poisoning. I got it after months of chewing thru 3 tubs of bubblemint gum per day. Eventually i couldn't even smell the stuff without gagging. And now whenever i have something with aspartame in it i feel very ill very quickly. Also kindof makes me weirdly depressed
